Essenes - Dead Sea Scrolls - Kabbalah - Gnostic
(Compiled by Cosmeta)
The study of Early Christianity is a fascinating one to be sure. Yet in order to understand our Christian religion we must also explore the rich history and legends surrounding our Judaic counterparts because therein lies many of our answers to understanding the life and times of Jesus and how Christianity got its earliest beginnings. A good place to start is with the Essenes, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library, as well as the Gnostic and Kabbalistic writings handed down to us through historical tradition.
